Most GeneXus apps eventually need somewhere a user can format text — a notice body, a report description, an email template. The default long-varchar attribute doesn't do that. GX Trumbowyg Editor does: it wraps the Trumbowyg jQuery plugin as a GeneXus user control, so you get a clean, mobile-responsive WYSIWYG editor with a couple of clicks, not a custom HTML/JS integration.
What it does
The control renders as a rich text editor that outputs HTML, and it plugs in two ways: as a standalone User Control on a Web Panel, or as the Control Type on a character/longvarchar attribute — so an existing form field can become a rich editor without restructuring the panel around it. It ships in multiple languages and is built to be lightweight rather than a full CMS-grade editor.
